This festival is a time for gathering with family and friends, participating in religious rituals, and fostering a sense of community. It is an exciting opportunity to share cultural traditions and enrich the multicultural fabric of our community.

If you intend to celebrate, please review the event guidelines as listed below.

Important HOA and City Guidelines: Please adhere to the following guidelines when participating or hosting any event in the neighborhood.

    1. Event Permits: If your celebration involves a gathering or event that might impact public spaces or streets, please ensure that you have applied for and received the necessary event permit from the City of Celina as required.
    2. Noise Levels: While music and celebrations are a part of the tradition, please ensure that noise levels are kept within acceptable limits, particularly during evening hours.
    3. Public Spaces: Owners hosting celebrations are 100% responsible for damage to common areas and neighboring lots caused during festival celebrations.
